We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Every good thing you have ever enjoyed comes from God

Jacob is about to enter the Promised Land. He will be one of the venerated Patriarchs of the faith. But before Jacob can become Israel, the man must be broken. Jacob needs to learn that his life is to be one of continual striving with God, but doing it with full dependence on God. He will learn that with God there is a continual heat from the refiner’s fire, but through the adversity there is an unspeakable joy in the journey. And though God probably won’t be wrestling with any of us physically like He did with Jacob, there is a continual tension of finding our greatest peace when we are most intimate in close communion with God. At times we struggle, but in the pain we learn to submit to His will, allow Him to expose our defects, yield to the wounds He creates and then trust Him that the pain is for our greatest good as the “old man” is further put to death. If we act in the flesh and run away or defend ourselves or blame others or whine and complain, we’ll never experience this. As creatures so prone to follow our selfish instincts, there is a serenity that comes when God wrestles us to the ground, breaks us further of our pride and reminds us that our sufficiency is only in Him.

Poppy Seed Roll (or Nut Roll)  [A Czechoslovakian Strudel Recipe]
Place 3 cups All Purpose Flour in a large bowl.  Crumble 1 cake compressed
yeast and add to flour.  Add 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon salt.  Scald 3/4
cup whole milk and cool. While milk is cooling, add 1/2 butter or margarine
to milk to soften.. When milk is lukewarm, add 1/4 cup warm water to it,
and add to dry ingredients. Mix all well.
Beat 2 eggs and add to milk and flour mixture.  Add 2 1/2 cups more flour,
first with spoon, then with hand.  When dough begins to leave sides of
bowl, turn it onto a lightly floured board and knead.
(Alternate:  3/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 cup
butter/marg.; combine & heat microwave until liquid - cool to lukewarm.  2
pkg. yeast dissolved in 1/3 cup water [C temp on package].  3 eggs, 5 1/2
to 6 1/2 cups flour add above and beat for approx 10 min.; let rise)
Allow dough to rise for 1 1/2 hours in a lightly greased bowl, turning once
to bring greased side up.  Leave it in a warm spot and cover with a damp
cloth. Punch dough down after 1 1/2 hours, pull edges into center and turn
over in the bowl.  Allow dough to rise for 30 minutes more.
Divide dough into four equal parts.  Work on each part separately, keeping
dough covered.  Roll dough into thin rectangular shape (No flour should be
required to roll out, since dough should handle easily).  Roll into 9 x 12
inch rectangle.  Spread with soft butter.  Spread one cup of filling on top
and roll rectangle.  Spread with soft butter.  Spread one cup of filling on
top and roll as for jelly roll.  Bake for about 30 minutes at 350 ! on
lightly greased foil placed on a cookie sheet. The four rolls should fit on
the cookie sheet.
Nut Filling: To make the nut filling, use 1 pound ground walnuts mixed with
1 cup sugar.  For altenate filling use 1 pound poppy seeds &  sweeten to
taste with honey. With Solo brand poppy seeds, just add a little hot water
so its spreadable.
Alternates:  substitute honey for sugar;  add cinamon & raisens to
fillings.
Poppyseed and Honey Filling (Cooked): Combine poppyseed (large seeds should
be scalded, drained and pounded or put through food chopper, using fine
blade), liquid, honey, sugar and salt in a saucepan.  Cook over moderate
heat till thick, stirring to prevent scourching. Let cool before adding
eggs, beating in thoroughly. If the addition of eggs thins out filling too
much, return to heat and stir while cooking 1 to 2 minutes.
Variation 1:  Add 1/4 cup finely chopped almonds or other nuts.
Variation 2:  Add nuts and 1/4 cup curra ts or seedless raisins.
Variation 3:  Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon
rind.
